September sucks for Powell. It is Monsoon season in Mexico so Powell gets really windy and rainy. You should go in July and August, thats when its pimpin!
Of course the chart says it's still 109' below full. The thing I love about powell is that its different every time you go, always new things to expore and new places to camp.
I'll be there next weekend for a houseboat cleaning party and will be taking the boat out for the first time this year, so I'll let ya know how it looks.
uh... doesn't all the water released from powell go to California. I remember having a "stupid californian" conversation a couple years ago becasue you get all the Powell water!!! I may be wrong. But if you have plenty of water this year, maybe the outflow of Powell will be less
